Now some question are again unanswered like does iphone 3g cost $199? is it a good deal? or you are being fooled? Have you ever think that we have to sign a 2 year deal with a same network.So if we have to buy a iphone on $199 then we have to stick with AT&T and their incensed networks.Suppose we buyed the iphone and they change their network and calling rates. With a high rates does $199 deal is still good?
